One of the Democrats’ most veteran strategists warns that the party is “in decline” and “at considerable risk” when President Barack Obama is no longer on the scene.

“Since Obama was elected President, the Democrats have lost nine governorships, 56 members of the House and two Senate seats,” Doug Sosnik, the political director in Bill Clinton’s White House, writes in a new memo.

I have heard this for the last 30 years as they continue to gain more and more power and continue to add more socialist programs, I can only begin to imagine what would happen if they were on the rise.

The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

The fact that Obama, with the worst economic record since Carter, was re-elected, even with Benghazi still fresh in everyone's mind goes to show that the Dems are not in decline. Hell, Elizabeth Warren straight up lied about her heritage and won her Senate seat.

I'm not buying it, but they do seem to be heading for a bit of difficult sailing. Midterms of a second-term President are coming up in a sea of constant scandals and agenda failure, with vast sums spent to no noticeable effect beyond skyrocketing stock prices since the money has no place more profitable to go. Internally, they've thrown almost all the obvious successor candidates under the Obus to keep King Hussein's record pristine. If their chosen successor is a political establishment White man or woman, particularly a Boomer or some even-older fart, I don't see the Black voters turning out like they did for a charismatic if totally-unqualified sorta-brutha.

Of course they haven't won with anyone whose parents were actually married since Carter, so God knows what kind of freak show their primaries are going to be.
